[GTALUG] email etiquette.

[CLIFFORD ILKAY]

This is one of the few mailing lists on which this seems to matter and 
where it has been a recurring conversation.

I recall the persuasive arguments made by someone on this list, whose 
name I don't recall, who uses a screen reader about the merits of top 
posting, which is why I eliminated the original quoted message entirely 
from my reply. Even if I have the opinion that bottom posting is more 
logical, and I do, my opinion does not trump making what is really an 
inconsequential accommodation on my part to include someone whose 
assistive device favours top posting for various technical reasons that 
really don't matter.

We can be right about this and justify how right we are by making all 
sorts of great arguments, like not everyone uses a GUI client, and the 
worst, "Those are the rules.", or be kind and accommodate those who use 
screen readers. It's an easy choice for me.

We claim to care about being inclusive. Let's demonstrate that through 
our actions.
